CEO Welcome

Wecome to SouthernHills.com. I have exciting news to share with you about Southern Hills Medical Center—the hospital closest to where you live and work. 

The Society of Chest Pain Centers has again designated Southern Hills Medical Center an accredited chest pain center. This recognition is but another chapter in Southern Hills’ long history of being a quality patient care leader in Nashville.  Southern Hills was the first hospital in Middle Tennessee to provide community-based angioplasty and in 2003 was the first hospital in the mid-state to earn chest pain accreditation.  

The staff and physicians at Southern Hills Medical Center are completely committed to providing the highest quality patient care in a friendly, compassionate setting. That commitment is evidenced by our leadership in key quality benchmarks such as the recent recognition of Southern Hills as one of the best 100 acute care hospitals in the nation and a #1 ranking for heart attack care in Nashville.
